RAMSEY The period in which the tribes of Israel wandered in the wild- erness is of immense signifi- cance to Hebrew tradition. It is referred to countless times by later Biblical historians, by the Psalmists, and by the prophets. Sometimes (as in Hosea 11:1-5) it is regarded as a sort of childhood for the nation; a training period, an age of inno- cence. Nearly always it is pointed out as an era when God was especially protective and provident toward His chosen people. They continually find fault with Moses and are even ungrateful for the Lord's provi- dence. Now we must admit that the constant heat of the desert wil- derness would make people ir- ritable, to which we would add a certain monotony of food and lack of water in which to bathe. But, the Israelites had been re- deemed from bondage. They did have God's protecting presence with them. And they had His promise of a land "flowing with milk and honey," which they would possess. Yet the Israelites discounted these blessings and vented their irritation by murmuring against Moses and God. TOOK PROBLEM TO GOD Although manna still fell every night, the people yearned for the meat and fish, the cu- cumbers and melons, the on- ions, leeks and garlic to which they had become accustomed in Egypt. They complained so loudly that Moses took the prob- lem to God. 'Angry at their complaints God prmised to send enough meat to last a whole month--so much that it will come out their nos- trils and become loathsome to them! A wind blows in a great multitude of quails, which fall and cover the va a Per people have gorg mselves on the quail, God smites them with a terrible plague in which many die. Even Aaron and Miriam, the brother and sister of Moses, be- come disaffected and resent their brother's authority. Again the Lord is displeased and He afflicts Miriam with leprosy. Then Aaron repents, while Moses prays to God that Miriam may be cured. After seven days of the punishment, she is made well again. Following this latest outburst of murmuring, the Israelite host moves from Hazeroth to the Wilderness of Paran, lying in the central area of the Sinaitic peninsula. Now Moses selects 12 men, one from each tribe, and sends them to reconnoiter the Promised Land of Canaan. MILK AND HONEY They were gone for 40 days and probably saw the larger part of Palestine. On their re- turn, 10 of the spies report that the land is indeed flowing with cause they felt. the Israelites were able to overcome it. Before the Israelites could act on the suggestion, the other 10 spies reported that they would not be able to conquer the land, and gave an exaggerated report regarding the strength of the inhabitants. It was now up to Isragl to decide whether they would adopt the minority report or the majority report. Tragically, they chose the latter. Agreeing with the ten spies, the people again murmur and weep and wish that they had died in Egypt. ANGERED AGAIN Once more the Lord becomes angry and Moses is driven to plead with God not to destroy the people or abandon His pur- poses for them. The prayer is answered; the forgiveness is granted; the sin is pardoned but certain consequences must fol- low. All those over 20 years old-- except Joshua and Caleb--who left Egypt with Moses, will wan- der for 40 years until all these men have died, and then they will enter the Promised Land. Realizing their blunder, Is- completed before the end of the year at Whitehorse.
